Anyone going to pick up the remastered White Album? I don’t have $140 laying around, but I’d really like to hear the Esher demos. Also, and I know I will take heaps of abuse for this, I could do without about half that album.
Tales of True Adventure for Rugged Men Not Unlike Yourself
Agree 100%. George Martin wanted to cut it down to one lp, and he was correct. Half brilliance, half meandering self-indulgence.
Ooh! Your challenge is to whittle 30 songs down to a skintight, 15-track record. (And for what it’s worth, I love the whole messy thang, but I get it.)
My picks, in order of appearance:
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Dear Prudence
Glass Onion
The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness Is a Warm Gun
I’m So Tired
Blackbird
Rocky Raccoon
I Will
Birthday
Mother Nature’s Son
Sexy Sadie
Helter Skelter
Revolution 1
I need Julia and Yer Blues. But I can’t really kick anything off your list.
Instead of a double album, I propose an album and a half.
